Thanks for the support!

Good luck with humira! I’ve never tried humira but my friend’s dad who taught me about this traveling with injections trick...he has been on humira for over 15 years and travels every 2-weeks for work.

Julie Hayden I have juvenile idiopathic arthritis and I’m on Humira I’m not going to lie it does hurt a lot but it definitely does help as every other medication I have been to as not helped and we needed something so my body stopped attacking my immune system ;-;

Even though having to take shots suck, it’s better than the suffering! Hopefully as medical science improves in the next few years, they’ll have pill versions of these injections. Until then, stay strong!

​@@JeffreyLini really hope there's a humira version on pills.. so that its more easier to carry or bring on board ..

Glad to hear! Come to think of it, I’ve always traveled with an epipen in my backpack and the TSA never said anything

@@JeffreyLin thank you for for the extra information!

Yup. i've always traveled with my EpiPen just fine, but with these syringes that need to be cold, it gets a bit more complicated.

Oh nice. Where are you going? The ice packs can last all day if you keep it in the insulated lunch/picnic bags and you’re not directly under the sun. You can also ask the flight attendant to keep the ice pack in their freezer if they have space. I travel with just 1 Dupixent since, as I’ve mentioned, I’m only doing injections every 6-8 weeks. But all the Dupixent I’ve gotten have a expiration date of a year, so what you bring probably won’t expire. Also, Dupixent can last for 7 days outside the refrigerator so if you’re planning to do an injection a few days after arriving, that works too. Just remember once Dupixent is at room temperature, you can’t put it back in the refrigerator.

@@JeffreyLin your tips are very helpful. Were your travels domestic only? I’m thinking of international travel with a connection in a 3rd country, so I probably will have more trouble?

It’s the same for international travel. Just remember to have your doctors note and let your airline know when booking or at the checking countrr

Thanks for the info Jessica!

I get an injection mailed that needs to be refrigerated, but they pack it in frozen ice packs. It has never gotten cold enough to freeze the medication. There's many travel bags with zippered compartments to keep everything like medications and toiletries organized. The makeup aisle at Walmart or Target (or similar store) will have these. They make ones that are solid colors and don't look "girly". Very convenient for keeping a bunch of small things together and tidy. Happy travels!

I’m not an expert on Humira. Maybe a little movement carrying on/off the plane is fine. Try calling Humira’s manufacturer

Hi Were you able to get any solution for carrying Humira without shaking ?

@@Senthamihkaviya I didn't do anything extra other that being careful. I brought them to the cabin in a bag with ice packs and put them in a firdge right away after arriving home.

@@ike7539 Thank you 😊

I’ve been using Dupixent for 4-years so far and continue to improve every month. This medication is still very new so no one knows how long it should be used.

@@JeffreyLin thanks for replying. True, this is new and hence we dont know. Our doctor has adviced to continue for 6 more months. She indicated availability of same in tablet form recently and might switch later. Anyway, this is a magic medicine as my son feeling much better

So glad your son is feeling better!

I checked on tsa and it says TSA allows larger amounts of medically necessary liquids, gels, and aerosols in reasonable quantities for your trip, but you must declare them to TSA officers at the checkpoint for inspection. Remove them from your carry-on bag to be screened separately from the rest of your belongings. You are not required to place your liquid medication in a plastic zip-top bag. If a liquid, gel, or aerosol declared as medically necessary alarms, then it may require additional screening and may not be allowed.
